I do kind of like the idea of an alarm the user can set for the overall project (or maybe even a model file) when X hours has been attained.
It would help to stay within a project's budgeted hours or within a budget hours for phase/task for a project.

John,
Would it be OK if I change the background of the clock (say to Red) to indicate that the time is over the limit (the limit will be set in the dialog box)?

A nice idea. What ever is the easiest to implement.
Alternative idea. One cirle. Green for well within budgeted hours, Yellow (or blinking yellow) for close maximum budget (ie., 2 hours), Red for over limit.

When exporting to CSV for opening with Excel, Excel doesn't recognize the day dates in their current format which is:
"Tue 03 May"
I think it recognizes dd.mm.yy or dd.mm.yyyy or dd.mmm.yyyy etc. or with a / - dd/mm/yy or even the backward American way which is mm.dd.yy.
Anyone of those formats, preferable the first and second would be great!On the other hand the month column is recognized OK.
great great plugin!

If I'm working on several sketchup models at the same time which are all linked to the same project, might there be any time syncing problems?
-
too bad I've bought "time track" long ago. Thanks for this great script!!!

In principle, this should work.
I am interested in your feedback however if you find issues. Just remember that activity is tracked on events, not on focus, i.e. when you use interactive SU Tools or scripts.Fredo

NEW RELEASE: SUCLOCK 1.1b - 19 May 11
This small update just adds an extra column with the date formatted in Excel compliant format (dd-mm-yyyyy) for the CSV export of the view by Day/Month. This fixes a problem mentioned by Halroach.
Update is published in main post.

nice! -

I was wondering what the capabilities were for employees. could this be installed on an employee's computer to track his time? and I know it could. but could it be a protected file? how would you know that no one had edited the file for time tracked? if someone sends me their file will it show the clock on it and how much time has been used?
just thinking outloud... and as I have said before, fantastic plugin Fredo...
-
Fredo, thank you. Ben

For all those times when you worked hard on a model but forgot to track the time you've spent on it... and really wished you had...
You could have a little check in the plugin preferences to 'track time for untitled projects'.
This would generally eliminate all time spent with Sketchup, that is unaccounted for. great for spying too when you think about it...a step further could be to have an option to rename the untitled time/projects in retrospect and assign that time to an existing or new project.
What do you think?

Just thought of another use.
At my modeling and rendering department, we generally tend to share the work on models between us. It would be nice to have a worker ID or computer ID which would be assigned for each time track.
Then we could see how much time each of us spent on the same project.I really like this plugin!

SUClock is not really designed for concurrent multi-user on a network, because it uses local temporary files to track the information.
One possibility is that I give the option to put all files on a shared driveAnother possibility is that each user has his own .suclock files, but I give the option to issue statistics on a several .suclock files. Note however that you can already do this with the Excel exports.

Hi Fredo,
I've two request for future realeses, if possible.- had the opportuny to export statistics in other formats such as HTML or tabbed TXT? I'd like to paste them in my blog posts.
- Track usage of all your plugins.
At last, great plugins like all of yours

No problem, this is simple to do.

SUClock only tracks 'interactive' plugins, that is those based on the Sketchup::Tools class, typically where you can click and do things in the screenport UI.
All my plugins are enabled in their latest version.By the way, interactive scripts written by other writers can easily be tracked too.
They just need to insert a single line of code in theactivate()method of their tooldef activate .... LibFredo6.register_ruby 'Name of the Plugin' if defined?(LibFredo6.register_ruby) .... endFredo

Ok. Thanks a lot.
